This work investigates the effect of boriding and thermo-reactive deposition on 15B30 steel. The results presented in the paper show that these thermochemical treatments produce boride and carbide rich layers that improve surface hardness and wear resistance, and they do so without the adverse effects of adding more boron to the alloy.
